Appearance: Pours a bright and clear golden orange with a lot of rising bubbles. Solid two finger off white head which slowly fades into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing.

Smell: A sweet, fruity, and fairly floral malt forward aroma with good hints of fruit and flowers. Pale malt with bready and sweet hints of biscuit, grains, cracker, and straw. European noble hop hints with some grass and floral hints. Fruit hints of orange and lemon. Some hints of the added rose hips come through as well. A pretty decent light blonde aroma.

Taste: Like the smell hints at, a bready, sweet, and floral malt driven taste with notes of fruit and flowers. Bready pale malt with notes of biscuit, grains, straw, and crackers. Earthy and floral Noble hops with some notes of grass and spice. Taste of the rose hips come through. Fruit notes of lemon and orange. Nice balance between the sweet malt and hops. A pretty nice light blonde taste.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied with a medium to high level of carbonation. Crisp, creamy, and very smooth.

Overall: A solid take on the Blonde Ale style. The rose hips add an interesting kick.
